Summers are only good because of mangoes otherwise hardly anyone would love this scorching sun and its heat! With the passing time, the temperatures are rising, and we all know what the reason behind it is, i.e. global warming.
So, it is your duty as a parent or even as a child to keep your family safe in this summer so that this unbelievably high temperature doesn’t affect the health of your loved ones.
Here are seven precautionary tips to keep you and your family healthy and happy in this summer:
Keep yourself and your home clean
In this summer you will find insects especially cockroaches all over your kitchen if you don’t clean it regularly. They are other different types of insects which comes out in this summer, so the first thing is to keep your home, vicinity clean from dust, germs, waste materials or leftovers of food etc. so that the insects don’t build a home there.
Besides keeping the home clean, keep yourself clean as well, take a regular bath with clean and cold water so that you feel refreshed and all the perspiration/sweat gets removed from your body. Due to sweating, you might smell bad; have skin rashes and infection which are very common in summers, so keep yourself clean and your home too.
Eat enough but divide the meals
You should never eat all at a go whether it is summer or winter, but in summer, most people face gastroenterological problems due to the excessive heat and not eating at regular intervals. So, eat a small amount of food but frequently eat so that your body can digest the food quickly and then you can eat again.
It is also good to eat small meals frequently as eating heavy meals will make you feel uncomfortable in this summer and affect your productivity.
Water is must and that you know well
Staying hydrated is what is mandatory in this summer. Even if you are keeping indoor, the level of heat and temperature is bound to soak all your moisture from the body if you don’t hydrate yourself properly.
When going outside, water is a thing you must carry with yourself. A minimum of 3 liters of water is mandatory for an adult and a little less for the children to keep the body properly hydrated.
Going out in the sun? Apply sunscreen
Yes, you might be that person who doesn’t like to put anything on their skin but with the growing level of pollution and the depletion in the ozone layer, the UV rays can affect your skin and underneath the skin as well and the effects might be dangerous.
So, it is just a matter of not even 2 minutes that you would need to apply a sunscreen which can protect your skin from these harsh effects to a certain extent.
Keep your home aerated
It is very important in the summer to keep all the windows and the doors open so that air can pass in and out. Putting on the air conditioner might be a solution, but during the evening, early morning, it is very important to let the fresh air circulate in the room and make it free from the blocked air. This also cools down the temperature of the room to an extent.
Take some time out, Relax and Sleep Well
During the summer, all we need is to go back to the home after office and all day’s hard work and eat and get into the bed. But you take some time out and relax after coming back from work. It will rejuvenate your body and mind.
After relaxing and having a good time with the family, have your dinner and sleep for at least 6-8 hours to energize your body for working again.
During summer, it is hard to sleep due to the heat. It is better if you take a little shower just before going to bed, it will help you sleep as your body temperature will decrease.
Eat wisely
Winter is a season when you can eat whatever you want, and there is lots of variety of things to eat as well but during the summers the options are less plus you must not eat something which is too rich as that might upset your stomach.
Eat the green vegetables and fruits which are light and have water contain.
Buy a Family Health Insurance
Health insurance plans offer the last mile protection against ailments, which could be financially taxing. Health emergencies whether they are minor hospital treatment or major care package for a life-threatening illness.
Your health insurance plan should contain a Mediclaim to reimburse your normal hospital bills, and a critical illness plan to offer lumpsum help in case of illnesses which need expensive treatment.
During the summers, you should keep your loved ones, and yourself well protected as many people even without any disease get heart attacks, sudden stroke and major health problems.
Since precautions cannot guarantee complete good health, it is always good to have a health insurance plan to protect against any unfortunate event.
